If unavailable, check the control surface manufacturer’s website or contact them for
more information.
•
Multiply eld: Enter a scaling value for incoming values. This is useful for button presses that
have a value of 1. For example:
•
To set the automation mode to Write: Set Multiply to 4.00, and Mode to Direct.
•
To decrement a parameter by 1 with a button press: Set Multiply to –1.00, and Mode to Relative.
•
Mode pop-up menu: Choose the mode used by incoming values to modify the current
parameter value. The choices are:
•
Direct: The incoming value is used as the parameter value.
•
Toggle: If the parameter’s current value is 0, it is set to the incoming value. All other values
set the parameter value to 0. This option is useful for buttons that toggle a value, such as
Mute or Solo.
•
Scaled: The incoming value is scaled from its value range to the destination parameter’s
value range. This is useful for faders and rotary encoders.
•
Relative: The incoming value is added to the parameter’s current value. This is commonly
used for encoders but is also useful for buttons that increment or decrement by a certain
amount—specied by the Multiply parameter.
•
Rotate: The incoming value is added to the parameter’s current value, cycling between
maximum and minimum values. This is useful for button presses that cycle between modes,
such as automation mode.
•
X-OR: The value denes a bit mask (a lter), which is applied to the parameter’s current
value with the “exclusive or” Boolean operation. This is useful for enabling or disabling single
channel strip types in All view.
Note: For On/O parameters, Mode is set to Toggle by default. It is set to Scaled for absolute
controls (faders and knobs, for example) or to Relative for encoders.
•
Feedback pop-up menu: Choose the display format for the parameter’s current value on the
control surface display. The choices are:
•
None: No feedback is sent.
•
Single Dot/Line: LED rings: only one LED; LCDs: a single vertical line.
•
Left to Right Bar: A bar from the minimum to the current value.
•
Bar from Center: A bar from the center position to the current value.
•
Right to Left Bar: A bar from the current value to the maximum.
•
Q/Spread: Two equal bars from the center to the current value.
•
Ascending Bar: A bar from the bottom to the current value.
•
Descending Bar: A bar from the top to the current value.
•
Text Only: LED rings: no feedback; LCDs: no feedback as a graphics element.
•
Automatic: Depending on the currently assigned parameter, the most suitable feedback
mode is used: Plug-in and Instrument parameters carry this information, Pan displays a
single dot or line (Single Dot/Line), and all other parameters display a bar that runs from left
to right (Left to Right Bar).
Note: Feedback only works for supported control surfaces, and not all settings are available for
all controls.
